The trick there is to specify the "upgradeany" switch - otherwise no supposedly-upgradable system is found. My conjecture is that this is because Red Hat discourages upgrades. A clean install with backups of config files (and likely /home, and possibly /var/www and /usr/local) available for customizing is still probably the best bet. Phil
